I have practiced sport since I was a kid, I was full of energy and my mother did not know what to do with that, so she engaged me in different sports all Septembers till I told her: I want to continue playing basketball next season.
When I started to work in a company, at 23, I did not know, but all that knowledge about how to progress and growth as a group that I learnt from playing basketball was a huge advantage to me. Since I realized it, I have always been asking the people I work with about which sport or activity in groups they have practiced.
I find that people playing a team sport, playing on a music band or doing theatre with others have a vocabulary, a sense of awareness of “we” so much different to others that have not lived it.
